Objects in the mini map

The mini map always shows objects I own as light blue blobs. Now at times that can be good! But most of the time it's incredibly annoying!!! On my land, all I see is a mass of blue blob. I can't even tell where people are.

Is there a way to turn that off?

I've always wondered that myself. The green of avatar icons is way too close to the cyan of objects you own to be easily visible. That's always bugged me greatly.

I agree and think it'd be nice to be able to change that in-world..

From C:\Program Files\SecondLife\app_settings\colors_base.xml

<!--   Colors for the Mini-Map   --> 
  <NetMapBackgroundColor value="0, 0, 0, 77" /> 
  <NetMapYouOwnAboveWater value="0, 255, 255, 255" /> 
  <NetMapYouOwnBelowWater value="0, 200, 200, 255" /> 
  <NetMapGroupOwnAboveWater value="255, 0, 255, 255" /> 
  <NetMapGroupOwnBelowWater value="200, 0, 200, 255" /> 
  <NetMapOtherOwnAboveWater value="60, 60, 60, 255" /> 
  <NetMapOtherOwnBelowWater value="30, 30, 30, 255" /> 

edit: they don't come out in the forums so well but the color codes translate to:

1. NetMapBackgroundColor
   
2. NetMapYouOwnAboveWater
   
3. NetMapYouOwnBelowWater
   
4. NetMapGroupOwnAboveWater
   
5. NetMapGroupOwnBelowWater
   
6. NetMapOtherOwnAboveWater
   
7. NetMapOtherOwnBelowWater

Are there people on my land? *squints* *leans closer to the screen* *zooms the map in* *thrashes the camera up and down to see if any actual dots appear*

Yes. Very annoying.

What's weird is that it sometimes appears as DARK cyan, which is a relief. I've only ever seen it do that after a long time in SL, usually after I've manually flown across a ton of sims. I have no idea what really causes it.

The dark Cyan ones are (I belive) Group owned/deeded to group objects.

Perfect! That worked, thank you
